Educational objectives

The main objective of this doctoral programme is to equip doctoral students with the necessary competence for carrying out highly-qualified research activities at universities, public bodies and private organisations. For this purpose, the doctoral students' education is based on regular experimental research activity and proper specialist learning pathways within the various curricula, so as to develop the necessary expertise and skills to independently manage research activities within an international exchange framework.
